How to Use
  1. Add a row for each loading station (pilot, passengers, bags, fuel).
  2. Enter weight and arm.
  3. CG is computed as Σ(W·A) / Σ(W).

Summary

Formula

Moment
M = W × A (lb-in)
CG
CG = ΣM / ΣW
Within limits?
Forward ≤ CG ≤ aft AND total W ≤ max
Fuel weight
Avgas: 6.0 lb/gal · Jet-A: 6.7 lb/gal
